ROMANCE OF MARY HARRIS.
How Judge Bradley Defended and After

How Judge Bradley Defended and After
ward MARI. the Emotional Murderess
Washing on Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph
The death of tie venerable Judge
Joseph H. Bradley of this city, recalls the
celebrated case which was the central
fact of his career and which obtained q
national renown. Judge Bradley is now
well stricken in years. He is the oldest
member of the bar in the District of Co.
lumbia and gentleman of excellent re
pute and high standing in the community.
His ability IS an advocate, which always
ranked we'll, was put to hard test AMI
did not prove lacking, il the case to
which allusiOn has been made and with
the details of which the country was ring
ing twenty-three years ago.
Along during the war there was young
unmarried man named Burrows in the en-
ploy of the government here. He was g
clerk in the Treasury Department and
was engaged to be married TO Kentucky
girl named Mary Harris. Burrows him
self was KentuCkian also, | believe, but
l am not sure as to this point. They had
been engaged for long time and it had
been understood between them that as
soon as possible after he had gained his
expected clerkship st Washington, and
had got settled and little "ahead" inan-
Cially, he would notify her and the mar
riage would then take place.
BURROWS GOT HIS POSITION,
and kept In long while, but the stiDu-
lated notification was not forthcoming.
Months elapsed, aud perhaps years, but
he seemed not to be able to get ''settled"
enough To ma-ry-at any rate the KIN
tuCky girl heard no news of the desired
tenor, although they correspondent con-
stantly, as betrOthed lovers, and his let
tiers, as well sS hers, were all that lover
could wish them to be.
But though Burrows apparently had so
much difficulty in getting things ready for
his marriage with Mary Harris, he had
found it easier to manage in the case Of
smother fair damsel whom he mad met in
this city, and in the light of whose smiles
he had allowed the vision of his faithful
Kentucky girl to fade and vanish away.
In other words, he changed his mind, and
proved tickle to Mary, and that, too, with
out informing her of the fact, either d.
rectly or indirectly; and his marriage to
the other lady was at last appointed for
certain day in 874.
But in an evil hour for him Mary Harris
in some way received information of the
perfdy of Burrows and of the date of his
proposed nuptials-the time then being
near at hand. She did not collapse or
spend any time in lamentstion or confer
ences with her kindred and friends. AS
soon as she heard the news she started
directly for Washington, just as she was
She did not change her dress, nor did she
stop 10 "pack up" Without any baggage
or change Of apparel she went st once
from her home 10 the railway station,
only stopping on the road to buy pistol,
and
TOOK THE FIRST TRAIN EASTWARD.
Upon her arrival in this city she went to
no hotel or restaurant; but, without any
dallying and at the same time without any
perceptible excitement in her manner,

proceeded straight to The Treasury build
ing, walked irto one of the entrances,
found her way to the right corridor, sent
word into Burrows room that some one
wished to see him outside the door, and
when he responded in person, after ex-
changing few sentences with him and
learning from him that the news wss
true, she quietly drew her pistol and
shot him dead, almost on the very eve Cf
his wedding day.
She then turned on her heel and walked
Of in ousiR' sslike way, but made no
eto1t to escape and was of use soon
arrested. Tn TRAGEDY and the unusual C r
cumstances attending it made a profOul d
impression on the public far ard near.
The trial was highly sensational snd at
tracted spectators from al parts Of the
country. Mary Harris counsel was
Judge Bradley, and although the evidence
was strongly against her and the senti-
nent of the public, which might have
been on her side if she had not been so
cool about IL all, was also rather against
her, the Judge brought her through tri-
umphantIY on the theory that, though
perfectly sane before and after the occur
renee, she was at that time suffering from
q temporary acute attack of emotional
insanity" This was the first instance of
precisely this line of defense and the
phrase became byword everywhere
Notwithstanding the popular incredulity
as to the existence of such 8 thing as
momentsry
DEVOTIONAL INSANITY"
and Notwithstanding its apparent weak
ness as plea, it was successful IN this
case and was subse quently applied with
frequency and success IN similar cases,
the case of Laura d. Fair, who killed ex-
Senator Crtttenden in CaIifOrnis, being
perhaps the most conspicuous one.
But Mary Harris old not get off scot
free Immediately. She was adiudged in
nOCent of murder, but still insane, and
accordingly she was sentenced to COntine-
ment in st. Elizabeth's Asylum in this
city. The scene at her acquittal was a
most extraordinary one. There was a
great hu5bub, in the midst of which
Judge Bradley kissed his fair client and
exclaimed that she was noble woman,
and that if there were more like her there
would be fewer scampS in the world
which proposition would seem TO be unde-
niably true.
Miss Harris was subjected to nominal
NOHuuClhCuL III GuS asylum IOT ulhuy years,
in reality she was under no con-
straint. She could come and go when
she liked, and if she had chosen to she
could have escaped at any TINS. In fact,
she often passed many months away from
the asylum, at the Virginia Springs or
other summer resorts. Almost everybody
felt sure that she was not in the least
insane.
The sequel may not be known to many,
but it is one of the most striking parts of
the story. After some years Judge Brad
ley got Mary Harris legally discharged
from the asylum as restored to sanity, /
and then married her. And to-day the
heroine # the tragedy of 1914 is bending
tearfully over the death-bed OF the faith
full man who saved her life then and has |
been devoted to it ever since.

Homo Notes.

Last night the gap between the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe and the AtChisOn,
Topeka and Santa Fe measured exactly
ten and half miles.
It will soon be in order for Fort Worth
to begin preparations to receive the ex-
eursiOnists who are coming over the
AtchisOn- Gulf early in May.
The Fort Worth and Denver added one
and three-fOurth miles of -ack to its ex-
tension yesterday, and therefore track is
fOTty-two and three-fOurths miles beyond
Quansh, and 2353 miles from Fort Worth.
It is said that the Frisco Will begin on
the Tulsa extension to connect with the
Atchlson-Gulf IN the Territory at once,
and will build in both directions, from
Tulsa and from the Atchison's track. II
will take but very short time to build
the piece of road needed.
The committees representing Green
vile, Plano, Grapevine and Fort Worth
in securing the St. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas, will assemble at Plano on Wednes-
day of this week. II is probable that
every member Of the Fort Worth COM
mittee will be on hand If it should be
found necessary.

President Paddock has been very
busy for the past few days
along the line. Yesterday he was
present at tack laying, aiding in the work,
and he saw one and quarter miles go
down. He reached the city about 10 at
night. The captain is working presi-
dent.
The statement that has been current
for several days to the effect that the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe had leased
track privileges over the Fort Worth and
New Orleans from Midlothian to Fort
Worth meets with no denial and
is probably correct. This arrange
nent would make g through train
from Honey Grove and Paris to
Fort Worth, where connection would
be had with the main line of the Atchison-
Gulf and with all the other systems cen
terlng here. A completion of the road
will demonstrate the correctness of this
rumor.
